In General Internal Medicine, the largest division in the Department, faculty provide complete medical care for men and women over the age of 15. In addition to staffing the inpatient services at Creighton University Medical Center and Omaha Veterans Administration Medical Center, the Division also directs the resident continuity clinics at both institutions and Creighton Family Healthcare clinics. In the outpatient setting, emphasis is placed on preventive care and risk reduction, as well as management of chronic medical problems. The busy inpatient service accepts unassigned patients from ER and also provides referral inpatient care from smaller hospitals in the outlying communities of Nebraska and Iowa. This provides an excellent mix of patients above and beyond those from the Creighton practice. Resident Involvement: The general medicine services are the backbone of the residency program. An attending physician, a supervisory resident, one or two first year residents and two medical students staff the inpatient services at the Omaha Veterans Administration Medical Center and Creighton University Medical Center. Residents also maintain their own continuity clinics at the main campus, Creighton Family Healthcare, and the Omaha Veterans Administration Medical Center. |
